Re: The All New More and More Fun w/M9 Images
The Old Ghost House - M9/35 Cron at F2 and ISO 80
I drive by this old house on a regular basis. Today it looked extra creepy, and with Halloween getting close I decided to get a snap of this house. Processed in CS3 and converted to B&W with Alien Skin Exposure.
Also, found this Super Beetle for sale, and what a screaming deal! The for sale sign SHOULD HAVE READ:
"1973 Super Beetle. Rough shape, lots O rust. Interior shot to hell, bad tires, no heat or A/C, leaky engine, faded paint job and shoddy brakes." Asking price? $2700!

Protect yourself . . it goes like this:
Wonderful shot . . . taken with 24 'lux
but! it must have been stopped down a bit for the DOF
If I was as good as david I could have taken it with my 24 elmarit.
the 24 elmarit is much smaller and lighter . . . .
and if I drop it, it won't be quite so bad.

That picture of the house is terrific and the PP is very nicely done.The Old Ghost House - M9/35 Cron at F2 and ISO 80

+1. I love the way you combine added vignetting with your B&W images of rather spooky venues to begin with. It really defines a personal style for you.
I am trying this technique with some of my own images but to get the full effect is not trivial. JMHO

David,
Great shots of Seattle, I see that the weather cooperated for the Kerry Park Seattle skyline on Sunday! One thing I notice after processing my images is the clarity of the M9 vs M8. Something different going on and most importantly, no green blobs.

Re: The All New More and More Fun w/M9 Images
Three shots with the 50 Lux Asph (f4)...
This morning I sat and watched the sun rise over a strawberry farm in Watsonville, California. This farm is about a mile from the ocean, and gets dense morning fog and clouds that leads to some fantastic morning skies.
The band of white on the ground is plastic that is laid over the soil, and then the strawberry plants are punched into the ground through the plastic (the plastic keeps the soil warm and prevents weeds from growing).

Mike, you have captured the atmosphere beautifully in these pictures. The ones with the WATE are also terrific.

Mike better get yourself up here soon to Oregon I have a 24mm Lux waiting for you from Leica to play with. Actually Leica sent us a M9 a 24 lux, 35 cron and a 90 summarit for the workshop. Too many toys up here we need help to shoot them all.Three shots with the 50 Lux Asph (f4)...

How does the WATE perform on the M9 compared to some of the alternatives you had used on the Canons?

Re: The All New More and More Fun w/M9 Images
Robert:
The closest Canon equivalent would be the 16-35L II (at the wide end), which is actually a pretty decent lens on the Canon system (significantly better than the original version).
I don't have the Canon lenses any more (sold them off to get the M9 kit), so I can't do a side-by-side. At f8, the Canon was quite good and I wouldn't have any issues with it, other than in the extreme corners at very wide angles (16mm-18mm). The WATE seems quite sharp to the corners even at 16mm.
The Canon was a bit "iffy" at wider apertures, where I don't have any hesitation to shoot the WATE at wider apertures.
The sweet spot on the Canon lens tended to be between 21-28mm, while not being as good at the edges of the zoom range. So my guess is that the WATE would beat it in a shoot-out in the 16-21 range.

Thanks! That covers me -- until I see the next 24 Lux picture!
